I'm Leaving to Christmas Town
(E, 8,836 words)
Not another Hallmark AU!
Stede Bonnet and Edward Teach have a perfect life. They've been together for two years and one month, they are planning a wedding and they are absolutely in love with each other. However, one big fight smashes it all. Ed accepts an offer from an old friend and books a flight to Christmas Town. Will Stede follow his fiancé and try and get him back? And who the fuck is Calico Jack?!
Thunder, thunder
(T, 2,068 words)
Ed is afraid of thunderstorms, has been for as long as he can remember. They make him hear and feel things that aren't–can't be–real. The roaring of the deep, wild sea. The salt on his lips. The all-encompassing cold...
Stede offers him a different perspective.
Breathing the Same Air
(T, 1,223 words)
Stede is enjoying some time off in the sun, immersed in his book, when everything turns to chaos.
The Kraken and the Teller of Tales
(M, 4,427 words)
“There once was the Teller of Tales…”
“Who was also a merman. Right?” Edward interrupted him and looked at his face.
“Of course. Who was also a merman. He lived at the bottom of the deep blue sea and his life was alright, really. He had a family. He had gold, jewellery and the all finest little trinkets he could find on sunken ships. But he had an unhappy heart, a troubled mind and no one to talk to about his grievances...”
---
Edward and Stede take a vacation from work in their inn on board the Revenge. Ed can't sleep and Stede tells him a story. Next night, it's Ed's turn.
And in Your Touch There's the Sea
(G, 1,180 words)
Loving the sea, Stede Bonnet thought, is the foulest misfortune.

Butterflies
(M, incomplete)
To Paul, photography in its essence was the overwhelming need to grab a camera and capture a single, remarkable moment in time for its fleeting beauty. Just like one would catch a pretty butterfly, pin it under the glass and hang it up on the wall.
And love... Love had similar mechanisms.
Pygmalion and other stories
(M, 2,025 words)
A collection of tiny moments shared by Paul and Julian throughout their time together.
Dollhouses
(T, 1,638 words)
While Paul was writing a life story for Julian in his head at orientation, Julian was most likely doing the same, but my story is not just about that.
What do you think would happen if Paul and Julian met again a couple years later? Bear that thought in mind.
This piece features an airport (I was sure at first it was going to be called The Terminal, but then it didn’t sound right), flowery dresses, dolls, drama students (because of course it does), summer trips, games and birds.
Sleepless in Milwaukee
(M, 5,085 words)
Ten years ago, Julian Fromme met Paul Fleischer. When he fled Pittsburgh, he built himself a completely new life and identity. Has he found happiness though, or is happiness a notion he left far behind?
A story, featuring: Lake Michigan, the scarlet scarf, late night radio shows, one very fluffy cat and, most importantly, several letters.

Witness, Chapter 3: The Agreement
Frank doubles down on his plan to join Karen in Witness Protection. Excerpt:
Once the door was shut, Karen whirled around to face Frank, putting her hands on her hips. “What is so important, Frank?”
“Karen, I’m going with you.”
“We already talked about this…” she began, but he interrupted her.
“Look, I don’t trust the FBI or the US Marshals or the CIA or whoever to keep you safe, okay? I’m going with you.”
“Frank, this is a bad idea.” She started pacing the room, agitated. Frank started to smell victory.
“Give me one reason,” he said. “One reason this won’t work.”
“Well, you’re recognizable, for one.”
“Not outside of New York. Nobody’s even heard of The Punisher once you get out past 100 miles.”
Undeterred, Karen continued, “If you’re so sure I’m going to be in danger, then you’ll be in danger, too.”
“I’m familiar with danger, in case you haven’t heard,” he deadpanned. “It obviously doesn’t bother me.”
She shot him a look, but kept pacing, chewing on a thumbnail now. “I just don’t think it will work the way you think it will work.”
“Karen,” Frank said, cocking his head to try and get in her eyeline. When that didn’t work, he walked up to her and put his hands on her shoulders, stilling her. “What is really bothering you?” he asked gently.
